Michelle Stanistreet joins the London independent broadcasting and new media branch to talk about the NUJ's ideas about what needs to happen for the media as society starts to emerge from the pandemic crisis.

Michelle Stanistreet, the NUJ's newly re-elected General Secretary, will join the meeting to talk about the recovery plan and answer members' questions.
We will also do the usual business of approving new applications for membership and talking about any workplace issues members want to raise.
